Background of the issue:
I am trying to display variation thumbnails correctly on my WordPress site using WPML. The original Slovenian (SI) version of the site is displaying thumbnails correctly, but the translated Croatian (HR) version is not.
Original (SI) version is ok hidden link hidden link
Translated (HR) version is not showing right thumbnails hidden link hidden link
Symptoms:
Variation thumbnails are not showing correctly on the translated Croatian (HR) version of the site.
Questions:
Why are the variation thumbnails not showing correctly on the translated Croatian (HR) version of the site?
Thank you for the update! I've taken over this ticket and will try my best to assist you in this matter.
Since you mentioned that the variation images are being added using the "Product Gallery Slider for WooCommerce" plugin, I installed the plugin to investigate how it stores image information. Upon review, I found that the image IDs are stored in an array within a field named `wavi_value`. Setting the translation preference for this field to "Copy" should ensure that the image IDs are copied to the translated product as well.
Please try the following steps to see if they help resolve the issue:
1. Go to "WPML > Settings" and scroll to the "Custom Field Translation" section.
2. Click on the "Show system fields" link.
3. Once the page refreshes, enter wavi_value in the search box within the Custom Field Translation section.
4. If the field appears in the search results, set its translation preference to 'Copy'.
5. Save the changes and clear the cache from both your site and browser.
6. After that, open a default product and make a small change to the product title.
7. Save the changes and update the translation.
I hope the steps above will help in solving the issue. Feel free to let me know if you need further assistance or clarification. I'll be happy to assist.
